HA. Sure.

I can assure you that outside the NFC South areas, people usually can't tell the difference between us an the Jaguars.

You can't assure me anything since you don't live outside that area.

I do live outside of the NFC south area and they can. Constantly having to defend dumb hate coming from cowboy redskin eagle raven steeler and giant fans.

Sad, but true. When I went to New Orleans a few years ago for the saints-panthers game, I had quite a few people approach me at the bars and say the saints were going to kick the jaguars ass tomorrow (I was wearing my Panthers jersey). And that's a team from our own division.

And also New Orleans, where most of their fans think they won the Super Bowl because Drew Brees had an "interception touchdown".

considering the fanbases you listed, dumb hate isn't surprising, and it's really a redundant term.

I thought this was funny

3. The fuging YINZ ARN CITY BEER BIG BENZ DA MAN YINZ YINZ Pittsburgh diaspora, which fled the Midwestern Rust Belt Dumpster Fire for shitty banking jobs in Charlotte. These are the sort of people who blame unions for making them leave their homes and then vote for chucklefugs like Pat McCrory because they're hard workin Americans.

What kind of morons do you associate with? Seriously? I travel a bit and have never once had anyone confuse such a thing.

Yea, I've been stationed or otherwise lived all over the country from NC to Cali to Hawaii, from Texas to Illinois.  I have had to go to sports bars to watch the Panthers since the turn of the century.  I've never witnessed NFL fans not being able to recognize or differentiate one team from another.  When I was in Hawaii, there was even another Panther fan at the bar I watched games at, and she was from Cali.   Hell, my Panthers jersey was recognized out here in Australia once...I was walking downtown in my blue Smitty jersey and some random Australian dude passes me and hollers "yea Panthers!" as I walk by.  So if anyone has actually seen someone not be able to tell the Panthers from the Jags, that person is just the most ignorant "fan" in the world.

And I read all the "Why you team sucks" articles, they were all equally brilliant.  One of my favorites lines came from the Colts readers section, I paraphrase: "When Denver wins the Super Bowl this year and John Elways says "This one's for Peyton!" I will want to drink all the antifreeze."

      Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
